Whose nose was as long as a bucket.
He bought a new hat,
But it wouldn't quite match,
Now he's shopping for one with a buckle.

On a mule with a snarky reply.
When asked why so sassy,
She just grinned and replied,

A cat dreamed of chasing a ray.
Through clouds and through time,
With paws so divine,
He danced in the sun's warm ballet.

Who sat on a stool, quite bereaved.

And couldn't find it anew,

Wrote a limerick in the middle of the night.
It rhymed, it was fun,

With flavors so sweet,

With wings of jade and a tale untold.

In a fiery display,
And left all below in awe, behold.

Would craft toys for children to see.

He'd leave them in sight,
And vanish into the twinkling light.

For those who loved to indulge in their eyes.

In a tree branch, where he'd always map
His days and his dreams,
Of slow-motion extremes,
While the world below rushed and clapped.
